3. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
4. Spread the cooked vegetables and meat (if using) evenly over the crust.
5. Pour the egg mixture over the filling and sprinkle with cheese.

7. Allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

How to Serve Perfect Quiche

Perfect Quiche is best served warm. You can cut it into wedges and serve it on individual plates. It pairs well with a fresh salad or fruit on the side. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of herbs for extra flavor.

How to Store Perfect Quiche

If you have leftover quiche, let it cool completely before storing. Place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for about 3-4 days. You can also freeze it by wrapping individual slices tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. It will last up to 2 months in the freezer.

Tips to Make Perfect Quiche

• Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
• Make sure to cook your vegetables before adding them to the quiche to prevent excess moisture.
• If you like a crustless version, simply skip the pie crust and bake the filling directly in a greased dish.
• Experiment with different cheeses and vegetables to find your favorite combination.

Variation

Feel free to get creative with this recipe! You can add ingredients like smoked salmon, feta cheese, or different herbs and spices. You can also use different types of milk, such as cream for a richer taste, or plant-based options for a dairy-free quiche.

FAQs

1. Can I make quiche ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the quiche in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just reheat it in the oven before serving.

2. Can I use a store-bought pie crust?
Absolutely! A store-bought pie crust is a handy and time-saving option that works perfectly with this recipe.

3. How do I know when the quiche is done?
The quiche is done when the egg is set and the top is golden brown. You can also insert a knife in the center; it should come out clean when ready.
